Now that summer is in its peak, the rest is only a downhill tumble from here. However, we are quickly approaching that not-so-sweet spot towards the end of the summer break, where there just aren’t any more camps offered and you’ve already gone on your family vacation.

This USED to be a tricky time, when parents living at ROSS’ apartments in Silver Spring, MD would rack their brains, trying to think of exciting activities to do with their kids. NOT ANYMORE!

Here are the TOP 8 ways you can easily end your family’s summer on a high note AND keep your kids entertained during the non-summer-camp month of August:
